The pirates learn they are thought drowned

1 Tom wakes first in the cool grey dawn on the pirates' island.

2 Three tiny pirates splash and tumble in the clear shallows of a white sandbar

3 A second muffled boom breaks the hush, and the three pirates jump up from the log

4 Hidden in the island bushes, the three pirates part the leaves to watch the river

5 From the island bushes, three boys watch a crowded ferry ringed by skiffs on the river

6 In an extreme close-up, Tom's eyes open wide as he works out who has "drownded".

7 Tom, Huck and Joe grin as they realise the town is searching the river for their bodies

8 By the night campfire, Tom mocks Joe's timid hint about going home, and Huck smirks along with him.

9 Tom kneels by the dying fire, writing on sycamore bark with his red keel

10 Joe's straw hat lies upside down on the dark grass by the campfire.
